http://clcrsm.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
30322 Via Con Dios. Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 92688. Monday, April 28, 2014. Jesus’ Scars of Love. When we hear a familiar Bible passage usually one of two things happens. One, the passage sounds so familiar that the words, just go right by us, and don’t catch our attention. Or, two, sometimes we hear a familiar passage, but as we’re listening, we catch something new, a detail we had never picked up on before. As we just heard, today’s Gospel begins with the disciples huddled behind locked doors. In ver...

Community Lutheran Church: January 2015

30322 Via Con Dios. Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 92688. Wednesday, January 28, 2015. Week 17: The Story. One of the true blessings that I’ve seen happening to our church since we started reading through The Story. Is that we are getting a breadth of Scripture, and a more complete picture of the story of salvation, than we would if all my sermons were from the New Testament. To be honest, that are parts of the Old Testament that are hard to preach from. But it’s an important part of God’s story. For us to b...

30322 Via Con Dios. Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 92688. Monday, April 27, 2015. How is Your Soul? How is Your Soul? Ever since Backpacking Sunday last August when we brought everyone from the 8:15 service. And everyone from the 10:45 service together I’ve been looking for a Sunday when we could do this again. And it’s good just to enjoy being together. That’s Christian fellowship at its best. And it’s appropriate that two other things coincide with this day. First, today is the 4. Even if the circumstances...

Foundational stories in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation and we are not the same church we were nine months ago. Our appetite for God’s Word has grown. Our desire to read God’s Word and to pray, and to discuss God’s Word together has grown. Thank you for taking this journey with me! I’m truly grateful. Every story also has...

For if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.”. What does it mean to die with Christ? Or as Matthew asks the question:. Was once asked by a reporter,. Yet it was a...

30322 Via Con Dios. Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 92688. Tuesday, May 27, 2014. 5th Sunday of Easter. Do you want to hear something astounding? I read a report in the New York Times and it’s something I think every Christian should be made aware of. I found it in an editorial, not in the religion section, but right in the middle of their editorial page. One of their traveling columnists, Nicholas Kristof wrote this:. 8220;So with Easter approaching, here I am in the heart of Christendom. Keep in mind, the g...
